520 The Psychopath Factory: How Capitalism Organizes Empathy
examines how the requirements, stimuli, effects and
environments of work condition our empathy. In some cases,
work calls for no empathy--characters who don't blink or
flinch in the face of danger nor crack under pressure. In
other cases, capitalism requires empathy in spades--
charming, friendly, sensitive and listening managers,
customer service agents and carers. When workers are
required to either ignore their empathy to do a job, or
dial it up to increase productivity, they are entering a
psychopathic modality ... Capitalism pressures us to feign
empathy and leverage social relationships on one hand,
whilst being cold and pragmatic on the other. We are
passionate and enthusiastic whilst keeping a professional
distance. Sympathy, care, compassion and altruism are
important. The Psychopath Factory ... argues that it is a
mistake to presuppose that empathy can achieve these.
Rather than being subject to the late capitalist
organization of our empathy, psychopathy could be a means
of escape.
